Sixth game on the multiplayer slow game server (0.4.9)

#1 Post by o01eg »

Sixth game will be with free diplomacy (no teams, alliance of two can win).

As fifth game will be finished soon I'm preparing the next game. I'm going to launch test run with 5 minutes turns after next weekly test build on the 12th November and actual game on the 13th November. If current game won't end to this date I'll shift schedule to next week.

Planned changes:
  • 18 systems per player.
  • Tech cost factor decreased and set to 1.
  • Production cost factor decreased and set to 0.5.
  • Show detailed empires data: Yes
  • Monsters: Low
  • Natives: Low
Currently there are 8 registered players and there still time to register:

The game ended on turn 100 but I think no one but Oberlus read my resignation in the other thread.

The first is there no sense to shutdown the server, and the second is "Concede" button is unlocked.

Would it be possible to set the first turn to double-length? In the current game, something went weird with the server and i wasn't able to log on and enter orders until the second turn.

I'd like to make sure that doesn't happen next time.

Thanks.

I never received a message/e-mail for the start of turn 1 but I did for turn 2. I only knew the game had started because I checked the forum. Is that what happened to you or were you trying to log in during turn 1 and it was failing?

It will be a test run before the actual game to test it.

Why go down to 17 systems per player? It takes about 90 turns to get past robotic or static multi hulls and it's a whole different experience bumping into people three jumps from your homeworld (or two in TSO's case), compared with having some space to expand and think, and not have any idea how far extended the person you meet is.

Please can we consider a bigger galaxy for a change, like 30 per player? It makes scouting so much more useful.

I like the other settings, but I feel a bit bad about the detailed empires data - it would be really nice if we didn't have graphs, but without that nasty bug/outcome where you can't see if your enemy has upgraded his weapons until you've researched them. I guess I'd be willing to play again with detailed data off, and just pay careful attention to combat logs. Or maybe I'll just get off my ass and rush plasma cannons this time.

JonCST - you're the last to turn in the fifth game - we're about two turns from a couple of really interesting developments, so if you wouldn't mind it would be nice to see those before the game ends!

I will after release. Now I want to have more smaller games to catch bugs.

I'm more than happy with 17 systems per player. How many were for fifth game? 15?

No, 20, and we met each other almost immediately.

I believe there was an issue with maximum number of e-mails? Therefore, i could not receive the password to log in. Due to my time zone vs. server time zone, i was unable to log in for the first time until after the deadline had passed.

The request for the extra time during the first turn was to allow for time zone difference in case something like this comes up again.

Did i mention about time zones? I just tried to log on, and it presented me with the new game screen.

So, i assume game #5 has been terminated?

Let me try again.

I think it ended up being ~23, right? Weren't there 140 systems for 6 players?
